PK-8 (9-12) Literacy Curriculum Resources

Westminster Public Schools in Colorado is seeking proposals for PK-8 (9-12) Literacy Curriculum Resources through a Request for Proposal (RFP) posted on July 1, 2025, with submissions due by September 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM Mountain Prevailing Time. The district is soliciting comprehensive literacy curriculum materials that fully align with Colorado Academic Standards and are grounded in the science of reading, covering preschool through grade 8 with a preferred high school component. Desired deliverables include curriculum resources providing explicit instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing, with robust support for English Learners and diverse learners. The evaluation will focus on materials that offer formative and summative assessments, align with Colorado Measures of Academic Success, and can support approximately 8,500 students across multiple school types. The procurement process anticipates selecting the top 3-4 vendors to present to the evaluation committee in October 2025, with potential pilot programs planned for January-March 2026. Vendors are encouraged to submit vertically aligned materials ensuring literacy development continuity from preschool through 12th grade, emphasizing college and career readiness.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The district appears open to receiving proposals from qualified vendors capable of providing comprehensive literacy resources, potentially considering either a single comprehensive resource or 2-3 resources across different grade spans. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the available documentation, the scale of supporting 8,500 students suggests a substantial procurement opportunity. The curriculum materials must include high-interest, culturally responsive texts and demonstrate flexible instructional approaches that can accommodate diverse learning levels. The procurement suggests the district is seeking a multi-year curriculum solution that can be implemented across various school types and learning environments. Vendors will need to provide detailed pricing structures and comprehensive support materials that can be integrated into the district's existing educational infrastructure.
